🚐 Meet Annie 💛 Our lovingly converted Ford Transit with a cosy personality and an even cosier interior. She’s fully soundproofed and insulated, and designed as a simple, practical build — but one that’s very comfortable where it matters most. We’ve focused on what actually makes a difference on the road: a great sleep, an easy living setup, and a warm, relaxing space to come back to each day. That means no unnecessary fuss — just thoughtful essentials done really well. Easy to drive, beautifully practical, and ready for all-season adventures. The Ford Transit offers a noticeable advantage when it comes to fuel efficiency and running costs compared to many other campervans. Its modern diesel engines are designed to balance power and economy, meaning it typically uses less fuel than heavier, older-style campervans. Even when compared to smaller vans like the Toyota Hiace, the Transit often proves more cost-effective on longer trips thanks to its efficient cruising performance and optimised gearing. This makes it a practical choice for travellers looking to keep fuel costs down without sacrificing space, comfort, or reliability. ⸻ 🛏 Sleep in Total Comfort • Main bed with a luxurious 20cm memory foam mattress • Slightly under queen size, offering generous sleeping space • Rear seating converts into a third bed with an additional memory foam mattress • Comfortably sleeps up to 3 people ⸻ 🍳 Fully Equipped Kitchen Setup Everything you need to cook on the road is ready to go: • Three-burner gas stove with gas bottle • Camping table and three camping chairs • Full cookware set including pots, pans, cutlery, plates, and cups • Ample storage for food, gear, and travel essentials ⸻ 🚿 Water & Essentials • Sink with hand pump • 20L fresh water tank • 20L grey water tank • Portable toilet included ⸻ 🚗 Drive & Layout • Three seats in the front cab • Smooth, easy driving experience — no bulky camper stress ⸻ ✨ Why Annie? Annie is a simple build, but a very comfortable one. She’s not overcomplicated or over-designed — instead, we’ve put importance where it counts: especially in the sleeping setup, with a high-quality memory foam mattress that makes a real difference after a day of exploring. She’s warm, welcoming, and designed for easy living on the road — the perfect balance of practicality, comfort, and freedom. ⸻ 🌄 Perfect For • Couples seeking a cosy getaway • Solo travellers chasing freedom • Small groups needing proper sleeping comfort • Weekend escapes or longer road trips • Anyone who values comfort, quiet nights, and good vibes ⸻ ➕ Additional Amenities Available for Hire Make your trip even better with a few optional extras.
